- 44 - Before I continue with the elucidations by Magdalena I would like to touch upon the problem of language a little further. I asked the transmitting medium Mrs. A. two weeks after the previous report, what she felt during her psychic talking when in a semi-trance. She answered: “When we are dealing with themes that is alien or abstract to me and that I am not familiar with, I feel that the spirit being cannot use my vocabulary and has to search within it for what can be used. The spirit must then construct something with it. Whole thought connections are often used instead of sentences constructed word for word. Difficulties arise when dealing with things that are completely alien to me. I have often noticed this, because I do not have the words in such cases. This then makes me feel discontent. I actually feel that what is being said does not hit the core of the matter. I often feel that there must be more. I feel it but I cannot express it. This always harbours the danger of unwanted misrepresentations, particularly with names and dates. When I’m familiar with the theme, I feel that words flow relatively fluidly from me, because my thoughts and my vocabulary can be used by the spirit entity.” Different experiences made by Professor Dr. Cyriax had the already mentioned. His psychic ability was considerably more powerful than that of Mrs. A. Completely materialised spirit entities often appeared in his presence and even outside of meetings, as we can see in the example of his rescue from a lifethreatening situation (P. 6). But he was also able to see spirit entities clairvoyantly. Whether they were materialised or ethereal, Cyriax could enter into lengthy conversations with entities that often visited. During such occasions, when only a few spirits were present, voices spoke in really audible tones (3, P. 128). But the moment the number of otherworldly visitors reached a greater number, Cyriax entered the peculiar state of inner viewing. He said (3, P. 129): “Not one audible word was spoken then, the conversation took place through the falsely named, socalled reading of the mind. But it is not a reading of thoughts in letters and words, but a viewing of imaginations, concepts and images of thoughts that run across the foreheads of those present, akin to the images of a magic lantern7, or rather more like phantasmagorical images8, whereby one develops from the previous one. But this allegory should not be taken too materially; I can however not find a better one, because it is so incredibly difficult to adapt spiritual process to terrestrial concepts and to then express them in words.” I suggest that you, the reader, should take note of the similarities between the depictions of Cyriax and the preceding report by the spirit entity Magdalena. In the following report by another spirit entity called “Rexus”, the problem of communication is once more dealt with, but in a modified form. But the narrations by Magdalena are a priory continued. She reports (still on the 11th of September 1986): Magdalena : My greatest experience, one that impressed me the most during the recuperation period that has just ended, was the special emanation and the warmth and friendliness that came from many different entities. This gave me lots of courage and confidence. Schiebeler : Who emanated this warmth and this friendliness? Magdalena : The being that I became acquainted with. Schiebeler : Were there others like you? Magdalena : No, there were others present and I am pretty sure that they were there to help us at that time. Schiebeler : This means that beings were there that had not recently died? Magdalena : Yes, respectively such that were not there to recuperate, but to attend to us as teachers. I forgot to tell you this at the beginning. There were always many assembled around them. I believe that the more often we go there, the more of their indoctrination we absorb to then be able to repeat it to others because we ourselves learn to make the abilities that are inherent in all of us, vibrate in positive forms and then transfer them onto others. We do learn to always block anything negative so that we do not feel crestfallen and discouraged over again. I am naturally aware that things 7 We call them projectors or slide projectors these days. 8 Artificial illusions: One has to take into consideration here that when Cyriax wrote these lines, cinematographic movie pictures did not exist. He would probably choose the comparison with film and television images.
